Bylateral Prophylactic Mastectomy?
In the Movie/TV news section of IMDB, this "article" appeared:
Rene Syler learned that she was being let-go as co-anchor of CBS's The Early Show as she was preparing to produce a series of reports about her battle with breast cancer, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported today (Thursday). The newspaper said that Syler is scheduled to undergo a bilateral prophylactic mastectomy next month and that her bosses were aware of her medical condition when they informed her that they were planning to take the morning show "in a different direction." Syler said that she was surprised by the network's decision but that there was an upside to it. "This gives me time to recuperate," she said.I don't have a dictionary handy--and I am unfortunately ignorant of many medical procedures--but isn't a prophylactic some kind of birth control? Like a spermicide or a condom... I can't remember. Oh, and I hope her surgery, whatever it may be called, goes well.
The movie I most look forward to right at this very moment: Pan's Labyrinth share
